Dear JD,
The sad news of Ellen's passing came rather late to me, as Irena and I were camping in New Mexico with little opportunity to be online. That aside, please know that if you can use any assistance from me--anything at all--simply be in touch. As everyone at Haverford knows already, you are an amazingly resilient person. Still, should you need a good listener from time to time, I would be honored to be of service to you in that way.
My sympathies and kind regards,
~ bruce
